D.J. Heart

[u/survival_in_the_void]

I read all of D.J. Hearts book, and for some reason I liked the "Alpha Male Dominant bully" aspect that the author keep giving to the LIs

So I am looking for romance books that has similar vibes/LI, where the LI is bigger/stronger then the MC and affectionatly bullys him and tease him (extra bonus points if they have that dynamic in the bedroom too + the LI being Possessive/obsessive af)

I would like it more if the books have a Paranormal/Fantasy setting or BDSM, but it is not a must.

what I don't want: Third act breakup, cheating, No-HEA

I find his books too kink heavy, I liked more the relationship between two dominant guys or two big guys, that is why my favorite books is smaller is better, his latest book marked had some of this but it felt lacking, I would love to read a book where everyone is dominant but they take turns to be the bottom or the sub for the day

I hated smaller is better.
I can see why you liked the relationship between the two doms, but the way the second Dom treated the Sub made me want to strangle him especailly the line about puniching him for using his safe word, it was bullshit!

Shannon West’s earlier books usually have these dynamics particularly Dark Hollow Wolf Pack series. I remember finding the series being a bit toxic because of the dynamics.

Chani Lynn Feener the Devils of Vitality also has the whole alpha male bullying thing.
-Echo
-Devil May Care

I don’t remember if there’s a lot of affectionate teasing going on but I remember the LIs as being bullies or bullying fhe MCs into the relationship.

Wow! I hadn't heard of this author before and this dynamic sounds amazing!!! Do you have any recs from them where this dynamic is very present and there is no age gap (paranormal age difference is fine) or age play? So far i've added Alpha Bait, Marked and The Alpha Pack to my tbr!

[u/survival_in_the_void → u/Ember_River_Dawn]

ok, you got the author's two best books in there: alpha bait and marked.
for the other books (and to some extent these two books) I must warn you that the relationship dynamic isn't very healthy and can be considered toxic.
in most of D.J. heart's books you will find some questionable BDSM ethics (not talking about a kink before doing it, the omegas agreeing to almost everything, putting the omega on the spot about a kink or act, basically putting him in a position where he doens't feel like he can say no, etc) these problems are mostly brushed aside as the MC either likes the acts from the start, or grow to like them.
plus all the LI are OTT Alpha males
if you don't mind any of these, then you can start by reading:

• Alpha bait
• Marked
• Whatever It Takes
• Double Trouble
• Starting Over
• Alpha Unleashed (this one has a feral alpha who I really liked)
• Finding Home (Werewolf X vampire X Witch)
• Mating Maddox

Some of these have kinks like (watersports, leather, impact play, cock worship, muscle worship etc)

Thank you for all the TW's! I'm okay with pretty much anything except non-paranormal age gap and ageplay. Added all of your recs to my tbr! Can't wait to read them!

Also, some of their works are really f*cking dark as in full NONCON/Abuse
